# Azure Portal
{% hint style="info" %}
The recommended method to create your credentials is using [Powershell](https://docs.hava.io/importing/azure/getting-started-with-azure/powershell). It can be run locally or directly from the Azure Portal, and offers a much simpler approach.

### Using the Azure Portal
There are quite a few steps required to allow Hava to access your Azure resources using the Azure Portal.
To allow Hava to import your Azure account you will need to provide access by creating an Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) application and assigning read-only permissions to it. To create Entra ID applications you will need admin access to the Azure account.
### Creating a Microsoft Entra ID (Active Directory) Application
1. Using the search bar in the Azure Portal interface, search for `Entra ID`
2. Click and open Microsoft Entra ID from the search results
1. Select `App Registration` from the left side menu within Azure Active Directory
1. Click `+ New registration`
### Register an application
Enter the following details to register the application.
1. Name: `Hava`
2. Application Type: `Web`
3. Redirect URI: `https://app.hava.io/login`
4. Click `Register`
### Assign Roles to the Application
This will step you through adding a role for the application at the subscription level; this will grant Hava access to read everything in your account but not make any changes. You can also apply the access to a specific resource group or groups, or even individual resources - Hava will only draw the resources you give it access to.
1. Using the top search bar, Search for `Subscriptions`
2. Click and open Subscriptions from the search results
Select the subscription you would like to assign access to by clicking it.
#### **Add a role assignment**
1\. On the left menu click `Access control (IAM)`
\
2\. Click `+ Add` \
3\. Then `Add role assignment`
\
4\. Set role to `Reader`
\
5\. Select - Type in `Hava` now select Hava from the search results, and this should now be added to `Selected members:`
6\. Click `Review + Assign`
### Get your parameters to give access to Hava
You will need four separate parameters to give Hava access to your account, first off is the subscription ID.
#### **Subscription ID**
While still in the `Subscriptions` section.
1\. Navigate to `Overview` \
2\. Copy the `Subscription ID` and paste into Hava.
#### **Application ID and Tenant ID**
1. Search for `Entra ID`
2. Open Microsoft Entra ID
3. Click `App Registrations` from the side menu
4. Click and open `Hava` from the app registration list.
Here you will find the `Application ID` and `Tenant ID` to copy and paste into Hava.
1\. Application ID \
2\. Directory Tenant ID
### Create a Secret Key
1. Click on Certificates & secrets
1. Add `+ New client secret`
1. Description `HavaAccessKey` or any other description you like.
2. Set Expires to `24 Months`
3. Click `Add`
6\. Copy and paste the `Secret Key Value` into Hava
In Hava add source, select the Azure tab
